The closing part was an informal meeting during which representatives of Ukrainian organizations, initiatives, funds and businesses from different regions of Lithuania exchanged experiences, established new contacts, and discussed opportunities for further cooperation.
In summary, this visit underscored the active collaboration between the Ukrainian Center and European partners in supporting Ukrainians in Lithuania.
